NTERSTELLAR SERVICES DEPARTMENT (ISD)

THE ISD PROGRAM

The Interstellar Services Department (ISD) is a long standing group of volunteers, split into several teams who graciously share their free time in order to assist in a variety of tasks that all go towards supporting and enriching the players experiences in the world of EVE. Many of the employee’s of CCP originated from the volunteer program, which only goes to show you in how high regard we hold it. We are always looking for more players to join our dedicated teams and ISD is a great environment in which to lend your time and expertise.

Please find below information about the ISD volunteer teams.

THE ISD TEAMS

There are several branches in the program and each has its own area of interest.



Equipment Certification and Anomaly Investigations Division. [ECAID]

ECAID is the volunteer team that works on quality assurance testing and bug hunting for all new patches and expansions. We work closely with CCP´s QA team to ensure that as many bugs and glitches are found and resolved before release dates. We work tirelessly to test all new features and reported issues from the player base, once verifying a bug we assignment them to a defect which is grabbed by the Quality Assurance team and passed on to the appropriate division to be resolved.

We receive very many applications to our team, and we are always looking for new bug hunters. However please note that we process applications in batches, so you may have to wait a short time before getting your application handled. If you are interested in regression tests, testing the limits of game features and generally getting into the thick of game mechanics with the goal of making the EVE Universe a better place, then this team is for you!




Interstellar Correspondents [IC]

IC is a group of players who dedicate their time and energy to ISD to bring a wealth of news to the universe of EVE, surrounding anything and everything to do with player-driven events. From fleet battles through racing leagues to alliance tournaments, we aim to bring a broad spectrum of news coverage straight to your screen. Our reporters find stories, research them, interview relevant parties and produce the player news that can be found in the Player News Center, on the login screen and in-game. In more general terms, it is IC’s goal to become the source of player-driven news within the universe of EVE and a news organization that stands out from that which exists in any other MMORPG, past, present and future.

We are looking for enthusiastic, self-motivating players with a core interest in player skills to assist with producing our output. Very solid writing abilities and the aforementioned passion for our output is a requirement of every applicant. The division is an amazing, vibrant, friendly, team-oriented place to be in and if you wish to be a part of this, you are encouraged to apply without delay you won’t regret it.
